I contacted my AUSA about 2 weeks after filing the case - right after filing the proof of service. Interestingly, he asked me if I had filed proof of service - almost as if that was a signal that I was serious? Not sure. In my case, I was very polite but firm and told him that I just wanted to...

then you put what is your birth cert and psspt If both your birth certificate and passport match, then that is the name to put in full. Ignore whatever the green card says. My interviewing officer basically told me the same thing as I had a difference between the docs. He went strictly by the...

it must match your birth cirtificate I had a similar situation. The legal name for USCIS purposes and the one that they use is whatever shows on your birth certificate. The birth cert name must also match the passport exactly. If there are any variations, they may make you file for a name...

You can file an "ammended complaint" which will then supercede any previous filings. But you'd have to re-send to all defendants and also your dates are altered (the 60 day AUSA has to respond). It is OK to do so if you have a materially significant reason, such as adding/deleting facts or...

Your AUSA is flat wrong on this one Oceanside, Your AUSA is calling your bluff. After she files her motion, study it carefully, share it here and then you can decide if you need a lawyer or not. Maybe that will make her change her mind. Ironically, here is an actual question from the...

Add my info too edgrapes, You may add my info as well. See my signature.

Seattle_victim, See my signature. I went through the same "cannot make decision" nonsense. I waited patiently for 120 days, then I filed my case after 122 days - just to be certain that nobody questions how to count the days - because I read somewhere that for USCIS purposes, they start to...

Oceanside, It seems to me, based on your writing, that your AUSA may be referring to a "diversity" case. This occurs when a "citizen" files a case in a different jusrisdiction from the defendant. In this case the word "citizen" is not being used in the same way that you and I normally think...

I, too, was having trouble waiting for the green signature cards from DC (from AG and DHS). I just went to the post office and asked for their internal printouts from their intranet.

I actually got all my material from right here in this forum. It is a treasure trove of information and I would encourage you to start from the first post and work your way forward. It is time consuming, but nevertheless extremely educational, not to mention quite inspiring!

It is basically a hearing conference where the parties to the case lay out their arguments - which will then allow the judge to make a determination (ruling). Typically, AUSA will resolve it with you before the hearing. If the namecheck has not cleared then AUSA will come to hearing and...

Make sure you serve the right defendants It sounds like you may have served the wrong defendant - perhaps the county or state or city attorney? Be sure you serve the (Federal) US Attorney's office for your district. Local and state courts do not deal in immigration issues - which is a Federal...

The process was a lot faster than I anticipated. Perhaps it was because my complaint was very brief (not counting the page that lists the parties, it was just 3 pages). I only stuck to indisputable facts, eg date of application, date of fingerprints, date of interview... Also I made only 2...

first post - 1447(b) success This is my first post here, but I've read and followed keenly the thread for the past couple of months. For the sake of helping all and to reciprocate all the help I've gotten from this forum, I will briefly share my experience.... Filed N400 in January 2006 and...
